It seems, that all failures to use g++44 are due to:
...
configure:5201: checking for C++ compiler version
configure:5208: g++44 --version >&5
PKGSRC-WARNING: Something is trying to run the c++ compiler,
PKGSRC-WARNING: but it is not added to USE_LANGUAGES in the
package Makefile.
configure:5211: $? = 1
...
Hope, this helps. Yours,
